Newsletter Carlton In Snaith Community Primary School
Friday 31st March 2017
Last week:
Red Nose Day Success! What a fantastic effort from all of the school and wider community for Red Nose
last week (Friday). As I shared via a parent mail earlier in the week, we were absolutely delighted to raise
a fabulous total of £660.75!!! for this worthy cause. THANKS to everyone for their efforts and support!
Lots of children both in the UK and abroad will benefit from our generous donations. THANK YOU!
On Friday last week and Monday this week we enjoyed having almost 70 mums and grandmothers join us
over the 2 days of Mother’s day lunches. A great turn out – thanks to all who could attend! A huge thank
you too to Mrs Thompson, Mrs Schorah and Mrs Daly for cooking extra meals for this lovely occasion.
This week:
The hall has been a hive of activity throughout the week as Year 3 and 4 edge closer to their ‘Squabble
Box’ performance. I have tried to resist seeing any of the rehearsals (although I have heard bits!) and
can’t wait for next week’s performances on Wednesday afternoon and evening – please see additional
info within the newsletter for further details.
I enjoyed welcoming Education consultant Mike Smit back to our school this week. We spent time
visiting classes and discussing our reflective nature and drive for further school development.
Next week and beyond
We look forward to welcoming another new family to school on Monday, and then at least another
two more families after the Easter break. Our pupil numbers are increasing, which is great to see.
Wednesday 5th – Year 3 and 4 ‘Squabble Box’ performance at 2.00pm and 6.00pm (tickets only)
Friday 7th April: Easter celebrations: On the last day of term we traditionally have lots of Easter
themed fun. We continue the tradition this year. This includes:
Developing Lively, Inquiring and Creative Minds
Easter Bonnet and Hat Parade. Children are encouraged (both KS1 and KS2) to bring in and wear
an Easter Bonnet on Friday. We truly believe homemade are always the best. Any style of hat will
do – it could be homemade bonnet, or decorated cap or trilby. What will you wear? Be creative
and unique!
Children will then wear their hats or bonnet in our morning assembly and then again in the
afternoon parade.
Egg decorating and competition. I’m hoping we will have an ‘eggcellent’ competition again. Last
year we had some super designs, some topical news related eggs, some film, TV or book inspired
eggs and so much more .
Children need to bring an (undecorated) hardboiled egg or eggs in on Friday. They are also asked
to think about how they will decorate their egg in advance.
On Friday morning after assembly children will be given time in class to put their designs in to
practical action. Any items they particularly need to design their eggs need to be brought in too –
we will obviously supply basic things like coloured pens, paints etc. Time to ‘eggspress’ yourself
and have a ‘cracking’ time! Sorry for all the bad yolks!
This year I will be judging this competition – and will do this at lunch time. Prizes will be awarded
to the best eggs in each year group
Easter Parade. As mentioned later in the newsletter, all parents and families are welcome to
attend the Friends of Carlton coffee afternoon at 2.30pm. Raffle tickets and drinks will be
available. Children will come through the hall to show off their Easter Bonnets. We will be
announcing prize winners for both the above Easter Bonnet competition and the Egg decoration.
Fete Queen. Following Carlton tradition, next week, all Year 6 Girls will have the chance to put
their names forward (with parent’s permission) to Mrs Longfield to be the Fete Queen on the 17th
June. I will draw the lucky name out of the hat at the Easter coffee morning and announce who
will be crowned Fete Queen.
We break up for the Easter holidays on Friday 7th April - children return on Tuesday 25th April.
Staffing Update.
Mrs Taylor is unfortunately not going to be returning to work before the Easter break. We hope to see
her back to school fit and well soon.
Next week, we have similar arrangements in place to work with Ruby class in Mrs Taylor’s absence, with
Mr Brooks and Miss Johnson, supported by Mrs Stones, continuing their hard work with the children.
However, with an important North Yorkshire KS1 training day on Monday, and parent consultations on
Tuesday, some additional teaching staff will also be working with the Ruby children at the start of the
week. We are working hard to provide the best provision for our wonderful children, under the
challenging circumstances we find ourselves in. Thanks for your understanding with this matter.

With the support of grown ups, children collect used batteries and recycle them.
Recording their positive steps in a pupil booklet and entering a competition to win prizes for pupils and our school.
Friends of Carlton school are continually trying to find new ways of raising funds for treats for the children in our school. If we can do that in
a fun way which brings the community together, then all the better!
We would like to ask all parents, carers, grandparents, family and friends to search their
cook books, to dig out those family favourites, the meals and recipes we can’t do without or those that only surface for very special occasions. We are then going to collate these
into a Carlton recipe book so we can share the best that Carlton has to offer.
Please dig deep, then email your submissions to [email protected] by 31/05/2017
India & Zoe in Amethyst class will be selling
these little Easter hats next

them over the past few weeks
and would like to sell them to raise some money for
school funds this Easter.
The cost is £1 for a Doodlebob with a small Easter Egg inside
or 50p for just the Doodlebob.
They will be on sale from Wednesday next week at breaks and
lunchtimes.
Thank you for your support.
